traveling the Alcan from Haines Ak, to Anchorage Ak?
Getting ready to drive from Haines to Anchorage (mid April), what type of road conditions should I expect and also how many places are there to fuel and stay along the way? Yahoo maps states 14 hours of drive time, is this accurate?

I rode from Haines to Fairbanks in June, not sure of the weather in April. Roads are paved all the way but you may hit construction zones where you have to drive on dirt for 10 miles or so. Get a copy of the Milepost, it details all the roads you will need, where to find services, etc. http://www.themilepost.com Also available at Amazon and other bookstores. Have a fun trip.

Travel time to Anchorage is going to be closer to 16 hours. Roads will be good, gonna have a bit of snow but not bad temps will still be below freezing in the early am, but daytime will be quite nice. Top off the tank in Haines Junction, then you should be good to Tok, AK. Plenty of fuel stops along the way. Tok, Mendelatna, Gakona, GlennAllen, Eureka, Palmer. Nothing to worry about and it is a one day drive but start early. Camai
